craigslisted it my brother. twas time. 9 yr ole 29er with old geometry. the new bikes are too good not to move over to. no way in hell i'm spending that much money on a bike again tho. new bike retails for 1/5th and rides better. vroom, vroom!!!

honestly i was waiting for when the new 2014 bikes come out in september, but then i saw this lil local series pop up and figured i might as well get me something to get dirty on in the mean time. you good?

Pre-ride was fun despite the cold rain. Love the loop although there are some nasty thorns right as you come out of the woods/single-track and ride along the power lines towards the finish. Maybe they'll hack those back before the race. My arms are all torn up from them.

Jeff from Gus' got a cool shot of that start. It looks like a stampede from some western movie. He posted it on their fb page if you wanna check it out.

ah cool, not a facebook guy. could you link it to here? must be a cool shot!

I think the "feel slower" thing was more a result of that race was incredible fast. Everyone just absolutely took off!

ya that 1st bit to the woods is insane. but what is tough is that many of the folks that get there quick are MUCH slower once in the singletrack. and bobble on such non techy lil features. trying to pass in there is torture. I pissed one guy off pretty bad.
